Rise from a Poor Family: My Martial Arts Counterattack

Chapter 449 The Relationship Between Qi and Blood and the Inexhaustible Divine Art

one day!
Two days!

Three days!

In the bedroom.

A rich and intense surge of vital energy burst forth from Lin Chen's pores, filling the entire room.

In three days, Lin Chen had consumed thirty Dragon Blood Bodhi Fruits, and the density of his blood and qi had reached a terrifying level.

Click!

A sudden, throbbing sound came from his meridians, and Lin Chen's acupoints and bones crackled and popped all over his body.

At this moment, a slight humming sound came from Lin Chen's internal organs!

The surging power of his qi and blood seemed to break through some invisible shackle, and the qi and blood flowed more smoothly and powerfully within his body.

[Qi and Blood: Level 5]

Looking at the blood and qi level displayed on the panel, Lin Chen opened his eyes. He could feel the changes in his body. The increase in blood and qi not only made his blood and qi more concentrated, but also made his innate power flow more smoothly throughout his body. Even the Canglan Heart was beating more strongly than before, with an extremely vigorous life force contained within his body.

Qi and blood are not only fundamental to martial artists, but also fundamental to human beings.

At this moment, when his Qi and Blood reached the same level as his Divine Soul, Lin Chen could feel the power within his body constantly increasing.

"Thirty Dragon Blood Bodhi Fruits are worth it."

Lin Chen didn't feel regretful that it took him thirty Dragon Blood Bodhi Fruits to raise his Qi and Blood from level four to level five.

Perhaps if he eats sparingly and relies on the growth of his own Qi and blood, he could break through to level five with just over twenty Dragon Blood Bodhi Fruits, but it would inevitably take a year or even longer.

Now that his Qi and blood have caught up, he will have no worries about continuing to cultivate the Boundless Divine Appearance Technique or the techniques related to the soul.

"Can it be improved further?"

Lin Chen asked himself this question, and as he uttered it, the concept of "racing against time" was revealed once again.

[Given the current situation, continuing to improve Qi and blood is still an option!]

"Can it be improved?"

Seeing the words displayed on the panel, Lin Chen didn't rush to continue, but began to think.

By now, he has figured out the importance of "racing against time".

Making the most of every second will pave a suitable path for one's cultivation techniques, and at the same time, it will guide one to supplement any deficiencies in one's cultivation process.

Just like before I took the Dragon Blood Bodhi Fruit, my Qi and Blood were significantly lower than my Spirit and Soul. The message "Seize the moment" was a reminder that I needed to improve my Qi and Blood as soon as possible.

The "Seize the Moment" message now indicates that you can continue to increase your Qi and Blood, which means you can make your Qi and Blood level surpass your Divine Soul level, but the cost is the consumption of Dragon Blood Bodhi Fruit.

"If our sect hadn't gone to war with the Eight Desolations Sect, I wouldn't be in such a hurry and could take it one step at a time. But now that the two sects are at war, the only way is to improve our strength as quickly as possible. As for the waste of resources, it's worth it."

Lin Chen quickly made a decision to continue improving his Qi and blood.

Lin Chen closed his eyes again and began to consume and refine the Dragon Blood Bodhi Fruit once more.

……

……

Qianji Restaurant.

"Shopkeeper, the guy in room number 7 hasn't come out for five days. He only gave us 500 Flame Coins, according to the rules..."

"Confused!"

The manager of Qianji Restaurant scolded the waiter: "Don't you have any sense? This gentleman has chosen to stay in a private courtyard, which clearly means he doesn't want to be disturbed while cultivating. I guess this gentleman didn't expect his cultivation to last so long this time. But if we disturb this gentleman's cultivation now, can you take responsibility for the consequences?"

It's true that the Thousand Machines Restaurant is backed by the Thousand Machines Sect, but disturbing a Xiantian expert's secluded cultivation has serious consequences.

Furthermore, this person is quite young, yet has already reached the Innate Realm, and is willing to stay at the Thousand Machines Inn to break through. He must be from a super sect, and such a powerful person should not be easily offended.

Besides, who would dare to owe the Thousand Machine Sect money?
Since this lord dared to come to the Thousand Machines Inn for seclusion, he must have brought enough Flame Coins. We'll just have to wait until he finishes his cultivation before we replenish his supply.

……

……

Seven days later.

The little beast, which had been sleeping soundly in bed, had somehow rolled over to the edge of the bed. Its body, which had been curled up, was now fully stretched out, lying on its back with its furry belly exposed.

The next moment, the little beast rolled over and tumbled off the bed.

"Woo!"

The little beast, which had fallen to the ground, opened its sleepy eyes and looked around with a bewildered expression, its eyes revealing curiosity.

Clearly, the little animal had never seen a human dwelling.

It wasn't until it saw Lin Chen sitting cross-legged on the ground that the little beast suddenly remembered everything. It immediately bared its teeth, stood up, and waved its forelimbs, but with its body less than half a foot long, it was completely harmless.

The little beast gestured with its forelimbs for a moment, but didn't dare to approach Lin Chen. When it saw the blood and qi emanating from Lin Chen's pores, it sniffed the air, its dark eyes lit up, and it rolled its body to within three feet of Lin Chen. It dared not get any closer.

The little beast imitated Lin Chen, sitting cross-legged on the ground. As it inhaled through its nose, the rich blood and qi emanating from Lin Chen's pores flowed into its nostrils.

After just one sip, the little beast's eyes lit up, as if it had tasted a delicious flavor it had never experienced before, and it even smacked its lips a few times.

"This little beast is quite peculiar, absorbing blood and qi in this way." Lin Chen, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, did not open his eyes, but he could sense every move of the little beast with his divine sense. From the moment the little beast fell off the bed and woke up, he was on full alert. If the little beast dared to show any killing intent towards him, he would not hesitate to take action.

To Lin Chen's surprise, the little beast just stood there baring its teeth and claws for a long time, but didn't dare to come near him at all.

As for the little beast absorbing the blood and qi overflowing from his pores, Lin Chen didn't care. As he absorbed more and more Dragon Blood Bodhi Fruits, his body was already overflowing with blood and qi. There was no time to absorb all of the overflowing blood and qi back. Even if the little beast didn't absorb it, it would still be lost.

Having confirmed that the little beast posed no danger to him, Lin Chen continued to absorb the energy of the Dragon Blood Bodhi Fruit.

By now, he has already swallowed ninety Dragon Blood Bodhi Fruits.

If this number were to get out, even the most outstanding talents from those super sects would be envious.

Dragon Blood Bodhi Fruit is priceless; even the most outstanding disciples of super sects could not possibly consume so many.

The two, one human and one beast, quietly absorbed each other's vital energy.

In the dead of night, moonlight streamed through the window, silently bathing Lin Chen's steadfast figure and falling upon the small beast beside him.

At this moment, the little beast was less than half a foot away from Lin Chen.

……

Day 8!
Feeling his blood and qi surging like a torrent, and no longer able to absorb the energy of the Dragon Blood Bodhi Fruit, Lin Chen finally stopped.

His vital energy has reached its current limit.

boom!
The moment Lin Chen stopped circulating the Canglan Technique, his blood and qi surged outwards like a flood, causing the wooden planks of the house to crackle. The small beast, which was closest to him, was directly pushed against the wall by the blood and qi released instinctively by Lin Chen's body.

"Ouch!"

The little beast that had bumped into the wall opened its eyes, its gaze filled with displeasure.

"Little one, I've finished my cultivation. It wasn't intentional."

Lin Chen spread his hands and gave the little beast an apologetic look. This surge of blood and qi was not intentional on his part, but rather caused by a sudden and excessive increase in his blood and qi, which caused his body to overflow on its own.

Upon hearing Lin Chen's explanation, the little beast's eyes darted around a few times before the dissatisfaction in them disappeared.

"panel"

Lin Chen ignored the little beast and whispered something to himself.

[Host: Lin Chen]

[Realm Level: Innate Second Realm]

[Innate Skill: Canglan Technique] (Level 5, no damage)
[Qi and Blood: Level 6]

[Soul: Level 5]

[Willpower: Level 5]

[Speed: Level 5]

[Defense: Level 5]

[Comprehension: Level 5]

When Lin Chen saw the changes on the panel, a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

Reaching level 6 in Qi and Blood was within his expectations, but what he didn't expect was that his speed and defense would also be upgraded.

"Could qi and blood also affect these two values?"

Lin Chen had a guess in his mind. He opened the door, and in a flash, he transformed into a streak of light, darting through the courtyard.

Three breaths later, Lin Chen stopped in the center of the courtyard, flames began to appear on his body, and at the same time he struck out with his right palm.

Snapped!
The artificial hill in the courtyard collapsed with a crash and turned into dust.

"I see."

Seeing his own palm strike, Lin Chen's face showed a look of sudden realization.

He now understood why the panel prompted him that speed and defense could not exceed three levels of health.

The power of his Boundless Divine Appearance Technique was affected by his Qi and Blood. As his Qi and Blood increased, the power of the Boundless Divine Appearance Technique also increased. Other techniques should be the same, but none have increased as significantly as the Boundless Divine Appearance Technique.

"Now that my Qi and blood have surpassed my Divine Soul, the next step should be to focus on improving my Divine Soul. After I bring my parents to the Canglan Domain, I will go to the Thousand Machine Sect."

Lin Chen naturally wanted to visit the Thousand Machines Sect, which was the most skilled in soul cultivation in the Yan Dynasty.

Putting everything else aside, just the Martial Soul Diagram of the Rising Moon Over the Sea that his divine soul evolved—in the entire Yan Dynasty, it's probably only the Thousand Machines Sect that can provide the answer.

When he reported his cultivation progress to the Supreme Elder, he specifically mentioned that his soul had absorbed a lot of martial will. However, the Supreme Elder did not answer his question, which means that even the Supreme Elder did not know about the existence of the Martial Soul Diagram.

The martial soul and the Martial Soul Diagram of Rising Moon Over the Sea were born from his own soul, which are very likely unique to him. How to continue cultivating on this path can only be explored by himself.

"Ouch."

Just as Lin Chen was pondering, he heard the little beast's voice coming from inside the house. Lin Chen turned around and saw that the little guy was looking at him anxiously.

What kind of look is this?
Afraid that I'll run away?
Just as Lin Chen was about to communicate with the little beast a little longer, he frowned and took out the Martial Dao Seal from his pocket.

Sima Kong challenged himself at Wudao Mountain.
